Russia - Portugal Predictions
The second match of Pool A will see Russia and Portugal meet in a match that promises a beautiful show. Russia have just delivered a full match against New Zealand by winning 2-0. So yes, the Kiwis are certainly the weakest of the tournament but that does not detract from the success of the Russians because the White and Black played this game at 200% and they proposed a fierce fight to the men of Cherchesov. Opposite, Portugal, the favorite of this group, were hung 2-2 against a nice team from Mexico and will soon have to raise their heads in this competition to go for that first pool. Will Cristiano Ronaldo's team-mates succeed in taking the lead? Russia has 2 draws and 1 defeat in its last 5 games in all competitions. The men of Stanislav Cherchesov know some defensive largesses because they have already conceded 6 goals during their last 5 encounters ... is too much and the Portuguese are likely to target this weakness. At home, the Russians remain on a more than mitigated record since they already count 2 draws and 1 defeat all competitions combined ... so to speak they are not so sovereign as that on their lands. Opposite, Portugal have had only one defeat in their last 5 games ... ... This is undoubtedly to account for a very prolific attack that has already adjusted the sights on 14 occasions in the last 5 meetings.Russia - Portugal head to head
